You hear it said all the time. “Politicians should be held to a higher standard.” Yet, when is that statement anything more than wishes of a nonexistent reality?

Happy holidays to everyone! 2014 was a family and fun-filled year. Amanda’s parents took the whole family on a trip to the Outer Banks (counterclockwise from top left – photos 1, 5, & 6). We made a quick stop in Lancaster, PA and Hershey on the way home (photo 8). My sister (photo 2) and my…
Happy Easter from the Punaros!
Monday was Ariella’s preschool open house/orientation. Of course I snapped a few photos… Today was the first official day of preschool – no parents!
